"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;...that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them. ""I HAVE SWORN UPON THE ALTAR OF GOD ETERNAL HOSTILITY TO EVERY FORM OF TYRANNY OVER THE MIND OF MAN"--The Virginia Act For Establishing Religious Freedom
--Thomas Jefferson, 1786
Blood boiling.
FUNATO
Beyond belief that the US would agree to this!
On the other hand, with Obama as president, such things should not surprise us.
What would Ronald Reagan do compared to this nit we’ve got now?
What exactly are the guys who burned the Korans going to be charged with?
Unbelievable. Looks like something that Borat or “The Dictator”
would have written in a mock Hollywood production.
The current Status of Forces Agreement forbids this !!!!
If this is allowed to go forward U.S. Forces ANYWHERE in the world are at risk !!!!!
OFFICIAL AFGHAN GOVERNMENT WEBSITE - NATO agrees to allow persecution of Koran burners!
There, now it makes more sense.
Gotta hand it to the Afghanis. They are masters of black humor.
What's the difference?
Oh that's right one is burning paper and the other is killing babies
.
What about the Muslims who “desecrated” the Korans by writing in them? Will they be prosecuted as well?
NO F-ing way, NATO! NO F-ing WAY IN HELL!
Two points.
NATO writes the rules of engagement, which is why the ‘war’ will never be won by America.
When you see a headline that said NATO troops killed, they mean AMERICANS.
Germany is calling the shots using American soldiers to promote the EU agenda with NATO.
Corruption, corruption, corruption is killing Americans in Afghanistan.
Screw NATO. Pure BS.
They’ll be charged under the clean air act, for failing to gain the proper burn authorization, neglecting to file the proper environmental impact report, and disturbing the religious freedom of people bent on killing us.
I suspect the Afghan Gov’t is simply engaging in a PR exercise with their local population.
Certainly, one can never trust anything they say anyway, and this is likely included.
Has it become the 7th century again? UnFreakin’Real!
